The course of the Brûlée river flows on the east side of the Saint-Maurice River and on the north side of the St. Lawrence River. This river is part of the hydrographic side of the Champlain River which generally winds north-east, then south-east, to the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.
With the exception of a short forest area at the start and end of its course, the Brûlée River descends mainly in agricultural areas.
